They're the same car with different bumpers. The only 2g (95-99) dsm that has unique headlights is the 2gb eclipse (97-99.) The bolt underneath 2g headlights is a pain in the ass. Good luck man.

d@mn..... the headlights were not pointing correctly to see well in the dark - and upon further examination, both top tabs are broken on both headlights, so the lights are shining down further than they should be..... there is a local wrecked eclipse with headlights on it though, so I guess I should figure out all the tools I need and looks like I will spend a day doing it, UGH.

Its not that difficult to remove the bumper cover, you have five bolts between the headlights and 2 on each fender. Not sure if all the stock plastic is there like the splash shields and stuff but that's not hard to remove either. You will need a ten mil and maybe a Phillips screw driver and pliers for the bumper, and if i remember right the headlights only take a ten millimeter also.. If not its a 12 Mil Its not to bad just take your time and be patient.

OK, I finally got to it today - and it wasn't too bad to get the cover off. NOW, I need new headlights though! I thought I was going to be able to repair the one's I have (the tabs are broken, but parts are missing). So, has anybody bought these lights off ebay?

I don't want to get them if they don't plug right in.

OR, does anybody have any used one's off a parts vehicle or something they want to sell to me?!
